I would love to see you succeed, but right now you guys leave a bad taste in many people's mouths. Take it from a fellow Minnesotan, follow Stu from Blade's lead; be a decent company, back up your products, don't trample on people, and deliver the goods. A good reputation, and a profitable and long lived company will result. Just my .02, Carl


Carl you are right. I am not that kind of person that slams people and gets upset with what others say. So in other words I was out of line. I want to say I'm sorry to all that I have offended in my comments and posts. I know what we have for a buggy and stand behind it whole heartedly. We like to hear what everyone is looking for out of a buggy good and bad. I was a kid once too and I sketched out designs for buggies when I was not even old enough to drive one. Everyone has their own unique idea of what an ideal buggy should be. We are doing are best to build it. The one thing that I am guilty of is opening my mouth and not biting my tongue when negative comments are posted. So again I apologize for what I have said in the past and now see that negative posts will only help us to build a better built buggy in the future.



Ditto on Carl's comment and cool of you to step up.

Moto the cheetah looks cool. Suspension looks great--way better than the videos I've seen of the SS.
If you've got bigger engines coming I'd be seriously interested. The 800cc in chinese seems a little weak for me.

Again cool video.

Hi guys,

I thought the Cheetah seemed quite nimble for such a large buggy. There was a lot of movement on the suspension with little chassis bounce, so I would say it has a pretty soft comfortable ride. Probably a little too comfortable for some big air?
For $9k I think it should be compared to the Joyner 650 anyhow, but value for money I think the Joyner 250 Sand devil is the best bang for buck out there, it's light and appears very capeable. But it's a different beast all together anyhow.
I just wish I had the money and the industry here to support the karts you guys have available. You should relish in the options you have to choose from. In Australia we can only choose from whatever is being brought over on eBay at the time, the best we have at hand is the Joyner 250s and 650. Oh, we do have a good buggy desinger here called Edge though.

Cheers,
Gav.

Yes! That Edge looks simply awesome.

That's right Steve, I am simply amazed how well Edge are known in the US by enthusiasts. The biggest problem is you have to be very handy and have all the resources to build their karts from scratch. If you want to get air, the edge products will do it, that's for sure!

Would be a good learning experience.

Hopefully some day I'll have enough time to take on a project like that.

Going by the video, he had a camera man in the passenger seat for the onboard shots. I guess you draw from that what you will? It's a bloody huge thing, it would be interesting to see how it goes along side a 150 and a 250 for comparison. Hmmm, sounds like a challenge? Very Happy

Yes I agree with what you are saying. Actions speak louder then words and that is why I think I might take you up on that challenge. We will have a video (weather permitting) with both the 250 and 800 side by side tomorrow when we go out to the testing track.

Is there any way we can get video of it in the sand? I think that is where the real truth will be told. The sand is very power robbing and if you can scoot through it with no problems I will deffinately be a believer.
